Motorola Cuts 77 Jobs from the Windows Mobile Division

According to the latest news on the web, Motorola has announced that it would lay off 77 employees from its Plantation facility in Florida by the end of the first quarter of the year. Moreover, it seems that “The company said it will no longer conduct new Windows mobile development at the facility,” reports the South Florida Business Journal.

It is still unclear whether the layoffs are part of the already announced 4,000 job cuts the mobile phone maker announced that it would operate this year. As already reported, the company stated that around 3,000 of the positions it planned to reduce were from its mobile device unit.
